Her story is a phenomenon. Her life is a disaster. In the real world, Eliza Mirk is shy, weird, and friendless. Online, she’s LadyConstellation, the anonymous creator of the wildly popular webcomic Monstrous Sea. Eliza can’t imagine enjoying the real world as much as she loves the online one, and she has no desire to try. Then Wallace Warland, Monstrous Sea’s biggest fanfiction writer, transfers to her school. Wallace thinks Eliza is just another fan, and as he draws her out of her shell, she begins to wonder if a life offline might be worthwhile. But when Eliza’s secret is accidentally shared with the world, everything she’s built—her story, her relationship with Wallace, and even her sanity—begins to fall apart.

No one asked nor do they care, but here are my novel characters summarized as existing characters in other media:

(No you don't get to know how important each of them are. Neither are they in order of protagonist...ness)

Tate Andrews (Where the Crawdads Sing)

Eliza Mirk (Eliza and Her Monsters) × Cassie Sullivan (The Fifth Wave)

Max Mayfield (Stranger Things)(but if she was a tomboy who trained a colony of ants to do her bidding as a small child)

Diana Berry (Anne With an E) × Lucy Gray Baird (Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes)

Isaac (Fault In Our Stars) × Luke Skywalker (Star Wars)(but only the one where he's a cranky old man)

Peter Maximoff (X-Men movies) × Jesper Fahey (Six of Crows)

No. None of you needed to know this. But I've been itching to talk about my novel in progress and this is the best I got without risking someone stealing my idea and just writing and publishing it before me (yes this is a fear of mine)

Book Review: Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia

Date of Publishing: May 30th, 2017

Author: Francesca Zappia

Publisher: Greenwillow Books

Genre: Contemporary, Young Adult

After finding out the release date of this book I realize I’m kind of late to the party. But, don’t fret, that’s the norm for me. I’ve properly got back into reading since a couple of years ago, so I’m like the backlist queen because I’m reading books that have been published ages ago and gushing about them as if they’re new releases. 

However, despite being late to the party, I’m still going to gush about this book because it was one of the cutest books I’ve ever read in quite a while. Not to mention this made me wish I was an artist so I could draw my own comic strip. And fan fiction is not a genre I write, but after reading this story, it made me want to give it a try, though I doubt I ever would, but it’s nice to think about it. 

The story follows Eliza Mirk who is your typical definition of an outcast. She doesn’t have any friends and most of the people would consider her unpopular and weird, but she has a secret. A secret she likes to keep to herself as it protects her from the rest of the world. But she’s incredibly popular online because of her comic strip, Monstrous Sea and goes by the name Lady Constellation. Everybody loves her comic, but no one knows who she really is and that’s how she likes it. Then comes in Wallace Warland who happens to be a fan of Eliza’s comic just like everybody else and writes fan fiction based on the comic. 

When Eliza comes in contact with Wallace, which signals the inception of their friendship, things start looking up for Eliza’s social life, even though deep down she’s afraid of Wallace finding out her true identity despite the fact that she wants to tell him herself. But things kind of fall of the rails for Eliza when her secret comes out in a way she never expected—in a way I never expected either—her world falls of its axis and the next she knows, she has to face the world and especially the boy who she’s started falling for. 

I found this book to be adorable… and sweet. You can’t help but smile when you read this book which was what I did the entire time I was reading. Francesca Zappia not only nailed the family dynamics in this story but the way Eliza feels the need to hide her true identity from the world as she continues to do the thing that she loves the most is something I can relate to on a personal level. I felt seen by this book. Not to mention the fact that Wallace is one adorable character, who has his own secrets, but is a genuine person nonetheless and that’s all we’re looking for in this world—a bit of honesty.

Moreover, the writing style is easy and the pace is steady. You keep turning page after page and it doesn’t feel as if you’re experiencing bumps across this journey of the two characters who’re trying to show and hide at the same time. This was my first book by this author, but since I enjoyed her writing style, I definitely want to read other stories by her and hopefully I’ll enjoy those as well. 

The plot wasn’t something unique, but it did bring with it its own unique flavor. I’ve never read a book involving a comic artist, so I found that pretty interesting. And I could relate to Eliza in a lot of ways, maybe that’s why I enjoyed this book as much as I did. Even when I was telling my friend about this book she also said that I’m like the real/human version of Eliza and maybe she’s right. Not only are the characters fleshed out really well, there’s something about each of them that make you feel something on a personal level and for me that character was Eliza, so thank you Francesca for writing this story and creating this character. 

And the way Eliza’s secret comes out, I must say that was creative and something I did not see coming. I love it when authors catch me by surprise and this was one hell of a climax. I really need to learn a thing or two by Francesca Zappia about writing the climax as I always screw that part up. I’m a terrible writer. Pity party aside, the climax was amazingly executed and the ending was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better ending and if you wish to know how this book ends, then go pick yourself a copy. I highly recommend this book and the next time somebody asks me for a recommendation, I’m definitely naming this book as my first pick.  

So there we go, my thoughts on Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia. If you read this book, then do let me know in the comments what you thought of it and whether or not you agree with my opinions. If not, then do let me know if you intend to read it, because I know you won’t regret it.

Good morning, It’s time for another First Lines Friday! Posting a bit late as while working yesterday I had a bit too much hot 😅 Our AC broke again, hitting 29 degrees inside and so I started to feel lightheaded and then I hit a bit of a sadness.. Anyway, let’s go ahead with this one!   « Eliza Mirk is the kind of name you give to the creepy girl who clings to her ex-boyfriend for weeks after…

[ohh-deary-me]

i just finished eliza and her monsters and like how is it so good???? if you haven’t read it, you really should. it’s an ode to fanfiction, fandoms, fangirls, online friendships - everything. it reminds me of fangirl by rainbow rowell in a way, where it’s taking upon some rather cliche tropes but then spinning them and twisting them so that its this unique amazing book. i highly recommend, and if you have read it and want to fangirl, my dms are waiting patiently

What would Eliza and Wallace be doing in quarantine?

Honestly probably binging the new Unsolved Mysteries and baking together.

Also trying to fend off anxiety about a GLOBAL PANDEMIC
